A single mans endowment association
should pledge its members to secrecy. The
trouble with a Minneapolis institution has
been that too many members got married at
once. The girls must have heard of the poll
cies and fastened the nuptial day.
The Republican wolf is altogether too So
licitous of the welfare of the Union Labor
lamb. See if the fable is not borne out.
Runaway matches are seldom productive
Of other than heartaches, headaches and
other aches. Four conspicuous cases during
the year have all turned out badly. The di-
vorce column will soon be ornamented with
their names.
In quoting the prominent names that adorn
his petition, A B. Chamberlain neglected to
mention that of Gov. Loren Fletcher. With
out this all others are as naught.
j. III. Nevins and Bishop FOsS are agreed
that "there is something rotten in Denmark -
Nevins says so in referring to the awarding
of contracts by the council committee on
paving, and he sticks to it: while the bishop
denies having said anything of the kind, not
withstanding the allegation of two reporters
to the contrary.
Spring will bring with it's flowers the usual
crop of newspaper changes. William Buckley
is to start daily paper to be called the Even
ing Bell, which is to be distributed free on all
the street car lines in the city, thus giving q
paper and ride to every passenger for five
cents. The News Letter, of which he is man

u monthly railroad paper, and a new trade
paper is talked of. When Q. A. NimockS re-
turns the evening penny paper scheme will
take shape, and will start up May l.
The Journal makes a malicious fling at
Capt J. w. Hankinson. of the detective
force, which is prompted by petty malice
quite in keeping with the character and size
of the paper. Capt. HankinSon is one of the
most faithful and able men connected with
the police department, and the only fault
that can be found with him by even his news
paper critic, is that he does not telephone it
whenever he makes arrest.
The Journal last evening also discharged
six detectives, abolished the Office of assistant
chief Of police, and told exactly what changes
the police commission will make. As the
Journal was equally positive when it pre-
dicted who the commissioners would be- and
only guessed one name right it is presumed
that it is equally incorrect this time. Still once
out of four is very accurate for the fussy lit
tie Journal

floor" said j. II. Kehoe, the Hennepin ave-
nue. tobacconisI, the other day to woman
who had just finished scrubbing the store
floor. snow, gentlemen he said, turning TO
a group of cigar men and customers, II will
perform a little trick that / learned from
Hermann, the magician. You observe that
have no money in my hand, and that l roll
back my cuff so nothing can slip into il
from my sleeve. Now, watch me
closely" So saying, he plunged
his hand into the pail which
was filled with dirty water and drew out So so
In silver. All present declared that it was a
great trick aud could not understand how il
was done until Kehoe proceeded to discharge
the woman, and then said he had noticed her
make grab at the money drawer and saw
the silver go into the pail while she was on
her knees Scrubbing back of the counter. He
had taken this method of delicateiy letting he
know that he was aware of her dishonesty.
